A Teller With sand.

ANTIGoNIsH, n. g.. March 27.-The
attempted band robbery and murder
here yesterday was one Of the most
daring acts 10 the criminal annals of
Canada. The offender Is Stanley
Steele, of Guysboro, n. 8. He came
to Autigonish Friday afternoon, regis
tered al the Central house, and went
at once to his room. Saturday fore
noon he went to the bank aud made
some inquiries about cashing q draft.
Manager Harris went to dinner AT
noon. leaving Teller Currier and boy
in the bank. At 1890 o'clock Steele
entered the bank and said he would
like to see the teller In the private
office. They retired TO the room
Steele closing the door behind him.
In moment the rob5er drew MS two
revolvers fiom his coat pocket, vne In
each hand, and, pointing one at Cur.
rier's head and the otner at his heart,
called on him 10 throw up his hands.
CurIier IL 26 years Of age six feet tall,
and a strong, wiry fellow. He threw
up his hands and In doing 30 spraDg
on his assailant. At the same instant
Steele fired and q bullet struck Cur
rier In the forehead. A life and deaf b
struggle ensued. In the struggle
Steele aimed shot at Curriers' heart
and sent bullet into the lett side
which travelled along the rib
four inches, then came out OF
the body and lodged In the wall.
All this was done In half a min
ute. McGilliversy, the boy, ran into
an adjoining building for assistance.
A score of men rushed 10 the rescue
and Steele was secured. He was told
that Clrrier was dead and received
the news with the utmost composure.
He said that the first shot which en-
tered Curriers' head was fired by acci-
dent. but when II became q matter OF
life and death with him, he determin-
ed to kill Currier, His original objec,
was to frighten Currier into silence by
the revolvers, and he was greatly SUR
prised at his resistance. He thought to
kill Currier, choke the boy, take the
money, rush 10 the street snd get
away on the train which would leave
In few minutes. The bullet has been
extracted from Curriers' head and the
doctors have hope for his recovery.
Had Steele succeeded In his desperate
attempt he would have secured $780,

Agreeably TO the call made 10 Tues.
days JOURNAL, quite number OF the
gentler sex assembled at the school
house yesterday for the purpose of
nominating two candidates for school
trustee for this district. Just how
many were present or who they were
we are unable to say. for the reason
that when q JOURNAL representative
presen ed himself for admission in his
official capacity he was courteously
but firmly denied the favor, on the
ground that as 1t was a women's meet.
ing, and as the participants were un-
used to public speaking, the presence
OF one o! the opposite gender, psrticu.
larly newspaper man, would so tend
to embarass them that full and free
discussion Of the questions under con-
siderstion might not be had. Grace
fully acqniesring in this decision the
scribe withdrew and was subsequent.
ly favored with brief of the proceed
ings, which were in substance as fol.
lows:
w. n. Haynes was nominated for
the long term, and Mrs. r. E. Camp
bell for the short term.
Whether there was any opposition
to these candidates, and II there was,
what sound and logical arguments
were used to achieve success for them
We are unable to cay. AS, however,
the report states that the nominations
were unanimously made, 1t is to be
presumed that the slate was agreed
upon before hand. and the meeting
called solely for the purpose Of authori.
tatively placing the candidates In the
field. Concerning the candidates, they
are each wholly unobjectionable and
beyond the doubtful 1olicy Of calling

gested in the nominations. As. how.
ever, there will In all probability be

Haynes 1t may be truthfully said
that he would make an excel.

unblemished character, and one who
has always taken an interest in the
welfare Of the schools. Were II not
that his opponent Mr.. Naples has
twice before been importuned to be a
candidate and has only consented this
time at the urgent request Of many
friends, we should say that Mr..
Haynes has au easy race; but as Mr..
Naples Is in every way the equal OF

and earnest following, We are inclined
to think that he will be the winner.

"When was up on the Yellowstone
talking to the COW boys / saw them
cut holes in tie ice, end then pretty
soon lot Of cattle would come down
through the snow belly deep and
reach out their long bony necks for q
drink. On top of the ice the snow
was four feet deep, but where the
holes were there was water twice that
depth and running like mill race.
Now did these cattle creep up there
softlike and nose around and paw
and try the ice and look back and
whimper and say they would come
gain some other day? Not any.
They just rushed right up the holes,
and some Of them were 90 eager to get
at them that they slipped and fell into
the stream and were carried slong
under the ice in the twinkling of an
eye. Glory! Glory! That's what
like. When / see you fellows &c

Advice for the Minister.
From the Dakota Bell.

A Young man who recently graduated
from an Eastern theological school went out
to Murray, in the Coeur dAlene country,
to take charge of a church. The largest
gambling hall in town was cleared for his ac-
commodation the first Sunday, one table on
which Spanish monte was usually dealt be-
ing left for him to stand behind. A large
stock register book was laid on this, which
was supposed to represent Bible. The
whole town turned out and the young di-
vine preached powerful sermon. In 1t he
strongly denounced gambling, horse-racing,
drinking and profanity. That afternoon he
was called on by committee of leading
citizens, one of whom said:
"Pardner, thar's little matter we'd like
TO talk over with We. reckon it's all y. h.
that YOU an me should speak o some mat
